Michigan football starts spring practice in Ann Arbor

Michigan football began its spring practice for the 2025 season on Tuesday in Ann Arbor. The atmosphere was positive as players were excited to be back on the field. Senior edge rusher TJ Guy noted that the energy was high, despite the limited practice format. Last season, Michigan finished with an 8-5 record. The team celebrated victories against Northwestern, Ohio State, and Alabama in their last game. This gives them a boost going into spring practice. However, the team needs to address some key challenges. They will have a new starting quarterback, must rebuild the offensive line, and seek better production from receivers. The defense, although still strong, lost some top talent. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale expressed confidence in the team's depth. Key players like TJ Guy and Derrick Moore are expected to lead the defense. The team has experienced players returning and some new players from the transfer portal to help strengthen the lineup. Linebacker Ernest Hausmann emphasized the importance of teamwork as players spent the winter training together. The team will practice over the next month, focusing on competition and preparing for the annual spring game set for April 19. With coach Sherrone Moore in his second year, the message remains clear: players should work to improve themselves and their teammates. Fullback Max Bredeson, returning for a fifth year, shared his love for Michigan, stating it is his dream to play there.
